Hey guys! In today's episode of the Say Yes To You podcast, I get to sit down with Sydni Arnett, a Philadelphia Fitness Trainer, and Marina Geahart, a Mental Health Counseling grad student. Two women that are all about moving for wellness, strength, mindfulness and body confidence. In this episode we talk all about alternative language to use in fitness classes that encourage body confidence and steer away from body shaming. Sydni and Marina first introduce themselves and talk a little bit about who they are, what they do for work, and how they got into the career paths that they are both pursuing. We talk about how quarantine has shaken up each of their lives and what the fitness scene looks like right now for a personal trainer. Then we dive into the juicy stuff - which is... alternative language to use in fitness classes that encourage body confidence and steer away from body shaming. We talk all about that and social media useage, how trainers can be more cognizant of the mental health and body confidence of their clients, and what a client should do if they feel like their trainer or fitness instructor isn't encouraging body confidence right now. I promise, this is just scratching the surface of what this episode has in store! I hope you like it!
